Long Airfield was a World War II military airfield located near Hayes Creek, Northern Territory, Australia. Also known as "Long Strip", the airfield was constructed in late 1943 by No.14 Airfield Construction Squadron RAAF. The bitumen surfaced runway was wide. Fifty three aircraft dispersal bays with some protected with earth revetments were also constructed. Long Airfield was generally employed in an associated and support role for nearby Fenton Airfield. The airfield has been abandoned since 1945. Viewed from the air, the remains of the main runway are visible, along with taxiways and aircraft hardstands visible, but in a very deteriorated state. No buildings or other structures remain. The airfield is accessible by road by traveling south on Stuart Highway (Highway 1) then turning west on Dorat Road (Highway 23), then turning south after about on Douglas Road. The airfield lies to the east, after about , by crossing some scrubland. A 4-wheel drive vehicle is recommended for the offroad travel. ==Japanese Air Raids against Long Airfield== *14 August 1943 *15 September 1943 (00:25 am) *18 September 1943 (03:50 am) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Long Airfield」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
